KKR vs LSG IPL 2026 Match 15 Highlights produced one of the most sensational finishes in IPL history.
Mukul Choudhary smashed an unbeaten 54 off 27 balls with seven sixes to steal a last ball victory for Lucknow Super Giants at Eden Gardens. KKR had the game sewn up at 128/7 after 16 overs.
The 22 year old from Jhunjhunu had other plans. His helicopter shot over long on, forehand six over long off and the match levelling hit over sweeper cover will be replayed for years.

Who Is Mukul Choudhary and How Did He Win It for LSG?
Mukul Choudhary is a 22 year old uncapped batter from Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, playing his third IPL match. He walked in at 128/7 with LSG needing 54 off 24 balls.
Arora removed Markram and Marsh in the same over earlier. Pant fell for 10 and Badoni’s 54 off 34 went in vain after he holed out at long off. Mukul then smashed three sixes off Green in the 19th over.
Two dot balls from Arora in the final over built unbearable tension before Mukul cleared sweeper cover to level the scores. A scrambled bye off the last ball completed the greatest heist of IPL 2026.
